Seems excessive. Why not simply write the guy a ticket for some petty misdemeanor, and uninstall his software? Does the SS really not have anything better to do than go after this guy?
Just because legalization isn't a panacea, i.e. a perfect solution, doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. E.g., I oppose Human Trafficking (a.k.a. Slavery), too, but would still support drug legalization, even if some cartels switch from drug smuggling to slave running. The latter would require different solutions, anyway.
I'd take these new "malware" scares seriously if I ever, ever encountered one on my Mac in real life, or knew anyone that had. I hear lots of haters, lots of hearsay, but not much else.
I love the picture quality of BR, and hate the look of Standard Def on my HDTV. To me, the difference between DVD and BR is obvious, and worth (some) extra cost. People that think BR is too expensive imho either haven't seen a good BR film on a decent HDTV or (more likely) don't care as they are content with whatever they have.
With a new technology like this there is going to be some insurance and liability issues to resolve.
Indeed, and it is insurance companies that will eventually make automated driving the default option by pricing "manual" driving insurance through the roof.
Or do Apple have a policy of taking phones you report as vulnerable to malware and replacing them with the next model up?
Not an iPhone, but when my iMac G5 died a few years ago, after they'd been EOL'ed but before my Applecare had expired, Apple replaced it with an Intel iMac. This wasn't the first option, i.e. they tried swapping the mobo, etc., but replacement + upgrades do happen.
No idea about streaming availability outside the UK though.
BBC in general is missing out on non-UK revenue by trying (in vain) to limit consumption to UK tax-paying folks only. Outside the UK they could charge fees/subscriptions, and enjoy additional revenue from people like me that like their content but live in, say, the USA. The current situation is lame. (End of rant.)

Usually if Apple is going to send you a replacement part or system they will send the new one prior to receiving the old one back, though they do take your CC number to which they will charge the price of the replacement if they don't receive the old one. This has worked out well in my experience.
Actually, in the US the 1 million mark is referred to as "gold". It takes sales of 10 million to go platinum
Check out the chart on the page you linked to. It is 500K for Gold, 1 million for Platinum, and 10 million for "Diamond" (which I had never heard of before) in the USA.
How about an anti-flame? I'm an American that loves France. On behalf of my country I would like to apologize for all that anti-French, "surrender monkey", "freedom fries", etc. stuff. All of that was/is shameful. Yes, we helped France a lot in WW1 and WW2, but we wouldn't have survived our Revolution without your help, and thanks for staying out of our Civil War, too, by the way. I hope that one day our countries are once again the great friends and allies we once were. I love your wine, your food, your films, your women:-)
I agree completely. The voiceovers, the happy ending, it's all good.
Why? Because this is the version I saw and loved in '82. This is the version that became the cult video hit during the '80s. People complain about trivia like voiceovers, but if it weren't for the popularity of the original version, flaws and all, there would have been no Director's Cut(s), no talk of anniversary re-releases, etc. The original, un-fussed-with theatrical release is the only version that matters, IMHO.

without someone to blame or punish people will feel very cheated if a robot driver kills or injures a human.
Eventually, "feelings" will not matter. Money, w.r.t. gains in safety & efficiency, will outweigh everything, as it usually does.

I hope that neither Apple, MSFT, nor Google gets *everything* they want.

Spain is about the size of Texas.
:-)
Ahem. I'm not a Texan, but I must point out:
Spain = 195,364 sq mi, or 504,030 sq km
Texas = 261,797 sq mi, or 678,051 sq km
Actually, Hitler likely viewed it as a successful proof-of-concept.
Indeed, apparently he did.

Another thumbs-up for Deja Vu. I've set it to back up (or rather, synchronize) my Home dir with a copy on a FireWire drive nightly. No fuss, no muss.
the best-known writer of Iranian origin is Salman Rushdie
FYI, Salman Rushdie is not Iranian. He was born in India.

Nobody's asking you to drink a big foamy glass of piss here.

Please don't change the subject. We're talking breast milk, not American beer.
I'm French, feel free to flame on :)

Vive la France!
Don't forget killing bugs...
And getting things down from the top shelf.
Wish I had some mod points....
I preferred the original theatrical release

You voted for Bush - twice.
I didn't, and neither did approximately half of US voters.
How is the military carrying out his commands not representative of you? You don't get off that easily.
I hope that someday you are personally blamed for the actions of your government, too, you jerk.
